EFFECTS OF DROUGHT.


How Fruit and Forest Trees Are Affected
BY Protracted Dry Weather.
The effect Of drought on our quick.
growing field crops Is readily seen and
keenly appreciated. but the effect on
fruit and other trees is not SO easily
noticed or 50 quickly felt by the
owners. Drought usually affects field
crops only one year. but often under
mines the constitution Of the tree. No
effects may be shown until one or more
years later, and then the trouble Is at
tributed to the severe winters. Trees
that have been poorly supplied with
moisture through the summer become
weakened. and are much more easily
injured by severe weather in winter
II il also claimed that the lcssened
vitality Of the leaves in time Of
drought makes them more subject 10

months In this case the drought
causes the tree to become more or less

takes place. the cambium layer prepares

At Fault in Geography but Not In Heart.


A distinguished member of the profession
told me the following story the other day OF
a brother comedian, William j. Florence:
Florence, in his younger days. was great
speechmaker. On the least provocation he
would rush before the curtain and hurl ex-
pressions Of gratitude and promises Of a
speedy return ut the backs of the rctrcating
| audience. One evening, when he was doing
one night stands on the New England circuit,
few injudicious auditors were bold enough
to applaud at the fall of the curtain on the
last act. Florence darted from behind and
bowed to the audience
"Ladies and gentlemen" he said, DOR fellow
tow-ns,nen, as l may call you, thank you.
Though you may not be acquainted with the
fact, it was in this old town of New Haven
that l lived as boy Under the shade of
the college clms and by the side of the old
court house spent the happiest days Of my
life. l see many familiar faces before me
tonight who were boys with me then.
have met with some appreciation i'll my life,
but nowhere is it more sweet and more dear
than in this my native town. Today as
walked the Streets
At this point gentleman in front whis-
pered in a very loud voice: "Mr. Florence,
this isn't New Haven, it's Hartford. "-Phila.
